Hi, I am Tara, nice to meet you. Currently studying International Development Management, major Sustainable Value Chains, which is probably quite self-explanatory. Another girl trying to make the world a better place, how cliché haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first experience with Couchsurfing was in Paris and I had no idea what to expect, but it was better than I imagined. It is wonderful to meet new people, to actually see how people live in other countries and share stories, opinions, food and music etc.. The best way to discover a city is definitely through Couchsurfing, meeting the locals and getting to know the best spots to eat and hang out. Through Couchsurfing you will discover the city on a whole other level and you will meet the greatest people. Joining Couchsurfing was definitely with the purpose of meeting new people and also sharing the prettiness of The Netherlands and its (sometimes weird) culture :)
